It's definitely not an ordinary thing.
In this case, the two of them have to stay on the mountain until the fruit is completely ripe before leaving.
No wonder it takes more than a month.
The food I brought is not much. If I only eat this, it will be too simple. I have to calculate it every day, otherwise I may run out of food in the end.
Ye Luoxin didn't intend to do this either.
She wants to develop the food nearby.
"I'll go out with you tomorrow to see if there are any wild vegetables nearby. We don't have many pickles left."
"good!"
Xiao Mu agreed.
Ye Luoxin was in poor health, so of course she couldn't eat pickles all the time. Although it was dangerous nearby, with him by her side, she would be fine.
After a while, the light from the fire gradually went out.
Xiao Mu turned on the fire, used a wooden stick to push away the floating soil, and took out the cypress leaves wrapped in the chicken.
He opened the leaves, and the smell of chicken immediately wafted out from inside and reached his nose.
Because there is no contact with open flames, there is no dry and burnt skin on the surface of the chicken. There is only a light sauce color, which makes people very appetizing.
Afraid that cutting with a knife would destroy the texture of the meat, Xiao Mu washed his hands, first removed the chicken legs and wings, and then tore off the meat from the chicken piece by piece.
"Eat this first." He handed a chicken drumstick to Ye Luoxin.
The chicken is very fresh and tender. When you take a bite, the juices inside the meat will flow out. It is extremely delicious.
"It's delicious!" She nodded and signaled to Xiao Mu: "Try it quickly!"
The pheasant was not big. After Ye Luoxin ate one drumstick, he gnawed half of the wing, and the rest was eaten cleanly by Xiao Mu.
After eating, Ye Luoxin simply served the porridge out, and the two of them had a comfortable dinner around the almost extinguished fire.
The cool evening breeze blew away the heat of the day, and the shadows of the trees swayed, shattering the stars.
The next day, as soon as Ye Luoxin opened her eyes, Xiao Mu had disappeared.
She got up and walked outside, and saw Xiao Mu digging a small ditch around the courtyard wall. The ditch was not deep, and it was almost finished.
"What is this going to do?" Ye Luoxin asked.
"Bury the medicine to prevent insects and snakes." Xiao Mu straightened up and wiped the sweat from his head. "There are many insects and snakes in summer. If you bury the medicine, they won't dare to come in."
Ye Luoxin found medicine from the room and sprinkled the medicine evenly in the ditch according to Xiao Mu's instructions. Xiao Mu buried the soil back again and stepped on it hard.
"This time the medicine is enough to last until winter."
Ye Luoxin nodded.
This way she doesn't have to worry about a big snake crawling into her home during the day.
"Didn't you say you want to pick some wild vegetables? There seems to be a lot of wild celery growing by the mountain spring over there. I will put the ground cage in a while. You can come with me." Xiao Mu added.
"good!"
After a simple breakfast, the two of them packed up and went to the spring that Xiao Mu mentioned.
They chose this location well. It's on flat land, not afraid of the strong winds in the mountains and forests, and it's not far from the water source. It only takes about ten minutes to walk there.
"Look there!" Xiao Mu pointed to the green wild celery, "There are a lot of celery here, you can pick it here, I will walk up and go to the cage on the ground."
The ground cage on the mountain is made of bamboo strips. It is smaller than the one at home, but it looks new. It must have not been used much.
"good!"
Needless to say, Xiao Mu couldn't move any further when Ye Luoxin looked at the fat and tender wild celery.
There was no one in the mountains, and wild celery grew tall and big. Ye Luoxin pinched one, and it turned out to be very tender.
It's so big that it's impossible to pick it all, it's impossible to pick it all.
She looked up into the distance and found that Xiao Mu was also looking back. At this moment, he had walked dozens of meters and seemed uneasy. He turned back to check on Ye Luoxin.
Ye Luoxin waved to her.
Xiao Mu was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and shook it stiffly in response.
With joy in her heart, Ye Luoxin continued to pick her wild vegetables.
In addition to wild celery, there are other edible vegetables growing beside the stream.
Lantern flowers, mountain bracken...
When picking a lantern flower, part of the branches and leaves of the flower extended into the water. Ye Luoxin gently pulled it, and a transparent river shrimp was pulled out along with the branches and leaves.
The disturbed prawn was very angry and waved the big clip "click, click" to demonstrate to Ye Luoxin.
"Is there such a good thing?" Ye Luoxin's eyes lit up, and he stretched out two fingers to pinch the back of the prawn so that it had no place to use its strength.
The prawn slapped its belly hard with its tail, looking very pitiful.
But what flashed through Ye Luoxin's mind were spicy, steamed, minced garlic, boiled... more than ten ways to eat shrimp.
At this moment, she was not in the mood to catch any wild vegetables. She reached out and pushed aside the aquatic plants on the shore, and she could see river shrimps leisurely foraging on the bottom of the water.
You could have grown up carefree, Ye Luoxin thought, but when you met me, I can only blame you for your bad luck.
She took off her shoes and socks and slowly stepped into the water, feeling the cold mountain spring water covering her calves. Then she stretched out her hand and steadily put one prawn after another into the basket on her back.
After Xiao Mu got off the cage, when he turned around to look again, he didn't catch anyone for a long time.
He was so frightened that he hurriedly walked down the mountain to check, shouting: "Luoluo, Luoluo, where are you!"
Ye Luoxin was vigorously catching shrimps when she heard Xiao Mu's voice and quickly stood up and waved, "I'm here!"
Xiao Mu's pounding heart finally calmed down, but his walking speed did not slow down at all.
"Why did you get into the water? The mountain spring is so cold."
"It's not bad." Ye Luoxin stretched out her hand and shook the two shrimps she just caught: "Look, what I caught!"
The prawns were still struggling in her hands, but Ye Luoxin showed no mercy and put them into the basket accurately.
"I'll treat you to shrimp tonight." She said happily.
This is the first time she has found food on her own since arriving in this world.
The satisfaction made her smile especially brightly.
"There is a shrimp net at home." Xiao Mu originally wanted to say, but seeing how happy Ye Luoxin was, he also took off his shoes and socks and grabbed it with his bare hands together with Ye Luoxin.
However, as he kept scratching, he noticed something was wrong.
In the past, when I was caged at the foot of the mountain, I would occasionally catch this kind of shrimp. The meat of these red whiskered shrimps is crispy and tastes sweet. The only drawback is that the quantity is small.
But I don’t know what happened at this moment. As if being summoned, the shrimps in the entire stream rushed here one after another. For a while, none of them were talking, and each one was as long as a finger.
Could it be that he was attracted by something?
He looked up at Ye Luoxin and saw that she was immersed in catching shrimps and couldn't help herself. He shook his head and smiled again.
No matter what, there are shrimps to eat tonight anyway. The roast chicken Luoluo made last night was delicious. I don’t know what new tricks the shrimps will be made into today.
